To secure program resources and earn trust, social service agencies, public or private, need to demonstrate accountability in program delivery. Pressured by high societal expectations and insufficient resources, cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of domestic violence prevention programming are best to be supported by comprehensive cost related data. Availability of such data may promote better resource utilization and even collaboration among service providers. Cost analysis is the foundation for examining cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Taiwan lacks reliable first-hand cost data in domestic violence prevention services. Using the format of "Research Notes", this paper attempts to take "Safety Network Program" as an example to illustrate a framework for cost analysis for social work services, including detailed documentation of research design, implementation context, operational processes as well as arithmetic logic and pattern. |
